And I'm coming home."

From the foreword
I had just wrapped up a seminar. A room of about a hundred technicians — Electricians, Plumbers, Appliance and HVAC techs. Owners, managers and staff were there, listening in.

A young plumber walked up to me. He said — My God, Pete. You sure made a lot of money as a service technician. What did you do?

I looked him right in the eye.

I said — I did make a good living. But plumbing? That was what I did. It was my job. But it is not how I made my money.
Working with your tools is what gets you into the game.
But what I fix is people.

This is the half of the job nobody ever teaches. I teach it.

Which one are you?

The Technician
You work hard. You deserve to earn what you're worth.
You know your trade. What nobody ever showed you is what's really happening the moment you walk through that door — and why that's where all the money is hiding.
This is for you →
The Owner
More revenue. Less turnover. Techs who represent you the right way.
Your best people are your biggest asset — and your biggest variable. When they know how to walk through a door the right way, everything changes. Revenue goes up. Callbacks go down. Customers come back.
This is for you →
Considering the Trades
The truth about what it really means to work in someone's home.
Nobody tells you this part. The earning potential. The relationship. The moment you walk out having genuinely fixed something — and what that does to a person who was scared when you walked in.
This is for you →

I started at the bottom. Then discovered something magical - the Golden Key.

No pushing, no overcoming objections, no hard closing, none of it — gone.

There are over 50 types of services that come to the home. Their skills are different but they have one thing in common — the same homeowner. They all go to that same person. Our discussions will differ about the technical side, but how we communicate should be identical. That's one of the secrets.

Successful people all have exactly the same methodology, proven scientifically. Regardless of their technical skills. Has anyone ever told you that? This book offers numerous examples for a better understanding of the How. Better yet, this book delivers the Why behind every action and the hard science that backs it all up. No other program does that - no one. Not one person, not a single organization.

Those successful people understand and anticipate customers' behaviors and patterns. They know what makes them move beyond today's necessity towards what they genuinely want in their lives. This is a massive leap for your careers and business opportunities, in any residential service. And I do mean any.

Who did it and where within these pages is not important. I show you how I did it in Plumbing. What is important is the methodology of how I communicated with the homeowners. I never "sold" anything - never. They discovered they wanted what I offered and then decided to buy. This is the human side of a service call that no one in the service industry has every explained or demonstrated - Until now.

We all have the Power with us already. I show you how to release that power.

"I'm going to show you how the big producers do it. I was one of them. But, more importantly — I am one of you. And I'm coming home to share what I learned after thousands of service calls."

You already know your trade. You show up on time, you do the work right, and you take pride in it. But are you treading water — or making a great living?

What nobody ever told you is that the job starts before you open your toolbox. The moment your truck pulls up, the customer has already begun forming an opinion. Where and how you park. What your truck looks like. What you look like. The way you walk to the door. The way you introduce yourself. The way you listen before you say a single word about what's wrong. That is where the real work happens — and most techs were never shown any of it. And yet, this is where yes and no may have already been decided.

This book is what I wish someone had handed me on day one. Not a script. Not a closing technique. A foundation. Once you understand what is actually happening in the customer's mind from the moment they see you, everything changes. The jobs get easier. The customers get warmer. And the money follows — not because you pushed for it, but because you earned it.

Here's the twist we all face. The customer calls because they have a need. We diagnose the issue, work up a price, and tell them what they need. But that's not always what they want to buy. The price is usually not the problem — and I'll show you what their real reasoning is. Once you get it, your prices will never be the issue the way you believe they are today.

You are going to be the repair technician you were trained to be. But, you will also be a reliever of the customers'pain and sometimes their dream maker. You will show customers possibilities they never realized within their own homes. You have Professional Eyes. I will show you what you are truly capable of.

Your income will rise. Your value within the company and to the customer will rise. And your family will benefit. It's our families we do this for.

It's Your Turn to Win.

You’ve built something. You've got trucks on the road, techs in the field, and customers demanding attention. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you know the truth — your best tech and your worst tech are walking through the same customer's door, and only one of them is representing you the way you want to be represented. The difference between them is not their technical skill. It is what they were taught about how to walk through that door. They learned from a guy, who learned from a guy, who learned from a guy - and we wonder why they don't know the human side of how a service call works. This is not a technician problem, it is a management problem. And, you most-likely inherited it. But, you can fix it now. This is your opportunity.

Every book, every seminar and all the other training materials, do one of three things:

1. Teaches scripts and objection handling (conscious-level selling)

2. Teaches closing pressure (get the signature)

3. Teaches technical skills (fix the equipment)

Not one of them explains what is happening in the customer's brain before anyone says a word. That is Pete's territory, and nobody else is in it.

Top service techs communicate differently, and in a manner beyond the cold, hard facts. They see opportunities beyond what the customer called for today. They create a Trust with your customer that gets them to call again and again. Their invoices are larger and closing rates are higher. All with no pressure, minimal objection handling and a warm smile.

This book shows your technicians how to prosper in the field, along with your company. It's a type of training, not even the most expensive training systems offer. Not any book, not specialized seminars, not trade organizations and not the franchise systems. People Buy What They See is a breakthrough training tool. This Survival Guide is Unique in the Industry. Written by a Tech for Techs, in a way that connects and delivers a profound message — explained with real-world examples.

Give your technicians the training they never received. Put it in the hands of every new hire.

Anyone in your organization who communicates with a customer — in person, in writing or on the phone should read this book.

You will be stacking the odds in your company's favor and setting up your employees to win. The cost is almost nothing per person, but the potential upside —WOW.

Your customers will feel it. Your callbacks will show it. Your revenue will prove it.

What do you have to lose? Buy it now.

Nobody is going to tell you this part, so I will. There is a moment in this work that you cannot find behind a desk. You walk into someone's home on their worst day. Something is broken, something is wrong, and they called you because they didn't know what else to do. And you fix it. Not just the pipe or the wire or the unit — you fix the situation. You walk out and that person is different than when you walked in. That feeling does not appear in any job description. But it is real, and it is waiting for you. It is the feeling of being truly appreciated. Beyond the fixing, you calm their fears, you make them safer and sometimes you give them what they have always dreamed about — you made it possible.

The Residential Service industry offers something most careers never will — the chance to earn a genuinely good living while doing work that matters to real people in real moments. It is not easy. But the ceiling is higher than most people realize, and the floor is more stable than almost anything else out there. If you are thinking about it, this book will show you what the work actually looks like at its best. Not the tools. The relationship. That is where everything lives.

The book was designed to assist those in the Service and Repair Industry. It is the largest sector of all the trades. Bigger than New Construction, Bigger than Remodeling and Renovation. Those are your three choices and your first decision. What sector do I want to invest years into. They each require very different lifestyles. Once you decide which sector, then the specific trade becomes a more tactical decision. I will be confronting these issues on my YouTube channel later.

Even if you don't get into the trades, this book can help you in life. The concepts are universal and it is a good read. Lots of stories and examples on the methods that all successful people use when they go eye-to-eye with a customer or client. Chapter Five is dedicated to the science that backs it all up. They are the kinds of skills that get you noticed and better yet — gets your ideas noticed. You will not regret it. It delivers. What is a good idea worth to you? One concept you can use over and over to get ahead in life. That is exactly what I did. Buy the book.
